CHIN AUGMENTATION:
- ANAESTHETIC - GENERAL
- STAY IN HOSPITAL
1 DAY AND 1 NIGHT
- RECOVERY 5 DAYS
If you have always been dissatisfied with the shape or
angle of your chin, or have suffered an injury in that
area and wish to correct the problem, then you are more
than likely a very good candidate for Chin Augmentation
Surgery.
Chin Augmentation Surgery is a relatively straight
forward procedure that can be performed under local
anaesthetic - however to make the procedure more comfortable
for you most surgeons advocate a general anaesthetic
followed by a restful night in hospital.
As with all surgical procedures surgeons differ in
terms of the technique employed in Chin Augmentation
Surgery. However rest assured that once your special
case has been reviewed, and your expectations regarding
the outcome of the procedure have been assessed, the
best technique for you personally will be recommended.
Surgery is usually performed via a small inconspicuous
incision either under the chin or in the mouth. Your
chin prosthesis (implant) is then inserted under your
Periosteum and from there directly onto your Mandible.
The opening is then neatly closed by fully absorbable
stitches.
In order to correct whatever your particular problem
may be, a special chin prosthesis will be carefully
selected for you by your surgeon. Your desires and aspirations
will be taken into account prior to surgery and you
will also be encouraged to ask as many questions relating
to the outcome of the procedure, and the procedure itself,
as you like.
A quick recovery from Chin Augmentation Surgery is
almost always experienced.
YOUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
RELATING TO YOUR SURGEON AND SURGERY ANSWERED:
HOW WILL I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SURGEON
FOR MY PROCEDURE?
Although all South Africa’s leading cosmetic surgeons
are highly trained and experienced in all cosmetic/plastic
surgery procedures they naturally have individual, specialist
areas of interest and expertise.
Once Surgical Attractions has assessed your particular
desires and aspirations concerning the outcome of your
procedure we will marry them to the surgeon best suited
to your special needs. The surgeon’s CV details will
then be sent to you for your perusal and acceptance.
HOW WILL MY SURGEON ASSESS MY PARTICULAR
SURGICAL REQUIREMENTS?
When you complete the Medical History section of the
General Enquiry Form you will be asked to submit it
together with a clear and reasonably close-up digital
photograph (in colour) of the area of your body requiring
surgery.
Once your recommended surgeon has assessed your particular
requirements along with your medical history and digital
photo, Surgical Attractions will arrange an obligation
free teleconference between the two of you.
At this stage your surgeon will not only be in possession
of all the facts relating to your particular case but
also be in a position to recommend the exact method
to be employed to achieve the results you desire. Your
surgeon will also be available at this point to answer
any questions you may have as regards your surgery and
the outcome.
You will be encouraged at all times prior to your
surgery to continue getting to know your surgeon by
asking as many questions as you like.
On arrival in South Africa Surgical Attractions will
arrange a personal meeting between you and your surgeon.
Once again the method of surgery and the desired outcome
will be discussed along with any other questions you
may have. If at this point you decide not to go ahead
with the procedure your decision will be respected.
RISKS
As with everything else in life there are also risks
involved in surgical procedures. No matter how good
the Surgeon performing the Surgery may be, complications
can arise. Therefore before proceeding with any surgery
of any kind please discuss all your concerns with your
surgeon and ask as many questions as you like so that
you are in a position to make an informed decision.
